Our teaching is delivered by a team of passionate academics and complemented by invited engineers to provide real-world examples. Oral and written presentations will help you to build your confidence in communicating your ideas. This is an essential requirement for a successful career in engineering.

We draw on our strong industrial network to ensure that our course remains relevant to current needs. We also provide multiple opportunities for industrial placements and overseas research projects.

Support available to you 

The day you arrive in our department, you will be assigned a member of the academic staff to be your personal tutor for the duration of your degree. Your personal tutor will support you to adapt to higher education and understand the requirements of the degree. They can advise on selecting optional modules, discuss future careers or further study, or provide academic references. They can offer additional support as and when required. For example, signposting or referring you to professional welfare support services or helping to raise and address any issues. In addition, you can book an appointment with our school’s Wellbeing Officer, who runs drop-in sessions throughout the week.

You will also benefit from our award-winning Careers Network team which not only helps in finding placements and graduate jobs but also offers a wide range of support throughout the application process to maximise the chances of success. This includes both group activities including CV workshops, careers fairs and other high-profile employer events and more targeted support through one-to-one advice sessions, mock-interview practice sessions or assessment centre preparation. We’ve got everything you need for a successful future.
